Hernia Surgery
What is a Hernia?
A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue pushes through a weak spot in the muscles that hold it in place. It often appears as a bulge or lump under the skin, usually in the abdomen or groin area. Hernias don’t go away on their own and can get worse over time, leading to pain and other complications.
Dr. Najibul Islam specializes in hernia surgery, providing compassionate and effective care to help patients find relief and restore their quality of life. He understands that living with a hernia can be uncomfortable and painful, and he is dedicated to offering the best surgical solutions tailored to each patient’s needs.
